It's
coming into that wintry season again and, before you know it, the
roads will be covered with snow.

The
Lewiston Police Department would like to give Lewiston residents
ample warning of enforcement of the winter no-parking laws. The
parking of vehicles on the roadways during this season makes it
extremely difficult for the snowplows to clear the streets.

The
Village of Lewiston parking ordinance says the parking of vehicles is
hereby prohibited on all highways within the Village of Lewiston
between 2 and 6 a.m. from Dec. 1 to April 1.

The
Town of Lewiston parking ordinance says parking of vehicles is hereby
prohibited on all town and county roads, including shoulders of
roadways, from Dec. 1 to April 1 (11 p.m. until 6 a.m.).

LPD
asks that residents work together so we can have the safest possible
roadways to travel on during our snowy season in the next several
months. LPD would also like to thank the residents for their
anticipated cooperation in this matter.

Any
questions or concerns? Contact the Lewiston Police Department at
716-754-8477.
